A Nomogram Predicting Contralateral Central Neck Lymph Node Metastasis for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

摘要

Background and Objectives: Central compartment neck dissection (CCND) is recommended for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, whether to perform contralateral CCND remains unclear. An individualized estimation of the contralateral central neck metastasis (CNM) risk would assist in the tailoring of treatment for PTC patients.
